Is it possible to have a blufor air unit escort a redfor and vice versa air unit and join up formation?

Similar to this

Or do both units need to be on the same side?

The end goal is to achieve AI redfor units joining up on a blufor human player to escort the human player back to a redfor base.

Yes, by using "Advanced Waypoint" type "Perform Task" action "Follow".
This is how I arrange the mixed 4-ship of a Viggen flight having extreme case of 2 strikers, 1 SEAD and one with only Sidewinder allowing them to have the correct task assigned (singleplayer AI work is a nightmare in DCS, gotta love when the SEAD escort goes defensive on a SAM launch by nose up vertical on idle engine ejecting all SEAD weapons)

Edit, and for clarity - having red to escort blue you need to set them both weapons hold etc. (had that as the first mission in the DCS Viggen campaign I recently removed from ED user files)
